Two principals are involved in krb5 authentication: the target, who we
authenticate *to* (normally the name of the server, like
nfs/server.citi.umich.edu@CITI.UMICH.EDU), and the source, we we
authenticate *as* (normally a user, like bfields@UMICH.EDU)
In the case of NFSv4 callbacks, the target of the callback should be the
source of the client's setclientid call, and the source should be the
nfs server's own principal.
Therefore we allow svcgssd to pass down the name of the principal that
just authenticated, so that on setclientid we can store that principal
name with the new client, to be used later on callbacks.

We want to transition to a new gssd upcall which is text-based and more
easily extensible.
To simplify upgrades, as well as testing and debugging, it will help if
we can upgrade gssd (to a version which understands the new upcall)
without having to choose at boot (or module-load) time whether we want
the new or the old upcall.
We will do this by providing two different pipes: one named, as
currently, after the mechanism (normally "krb5"), and supporting the
old upcall. One named "gssd" and supporting the new upcall version.
We allow gssd to indicate which version it supports by its choice of
which pipe to open.
As we have no interest in supporting *simultaneous* use of both
versions, we'll forbid opening both pipes at the same time.
So, add a new pipe_open callback to the rpc_pipefs api, which the gss
code can use to track which pipes have been open, and to refuse opens of
incompatible pipes.
We only need this to be called on the first open of a given pipe.

Hi.
I've been looking at a bugzilla which describes a problem where
a customer was advised to use either the "noac" or "actimeo=0"
mount options to solve a consistency problem that they were
seeing in the file attributes. It turned out that this solution
did not work reliably for them because sometimes, the local
attribute cache was believed to be valid and not timed out.
(With an attribute cache timeout of 0, the cache should always
appear to be timed out.)
In looking at this situation, it appears to me that the problem
is that the attribute cache timeout code has an off-by-one
error in it. It is assuming that the cache is valid in the
region, [read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo]. The
cache should be considered valid only in the region,
[read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo). With this
change, the options, "noac" and "actimeo=0", work as originally
expected.
This problem was previously addressed by special casing the
attrtimeo == 0 case. However, since the problem is only an off-
by-one error, the cleaner solution is address the off-by-one
error and thus, not require the special case.
Thanx...

Now that we're using the flags to indicate state that needs to be
recovered, as well as having implemented proper refcounting and spinlocking
on the state and open_owners, we can get rid of nfs_client->cl_sem. The
only remaining case that was dubious was the file locking, and that case is
now covered by the nfsi->rwsem.

If the admin has specified the "noresvport" option for an NFS mount
point, the kernel's NFS client uses an unprivileged source port for
the main NFS transport. The kernel's lockd client should use an
unprivileged port in this case as well.

The standard default security setting for NFS is AUTH_SYS. An NFS
client connects to NFS servers via a privileged source port and a
fixed standard destination port (2049). The client sends raw uid and
gid numbers to identify users making NFS requests, and the server
assumes an appropriate authority on the client has vetted these
values because the source port is privileged.
On Linux, by default in-kernel RPC services use a privileged port in
the range between 650 and 1023 to avoid using source ports of well-
known IP services. Using such a small range limits the number of NFS
mount points and the number of unique NFS servers to which a client
can connect concurrently.
An NFS client can use unprivileged source ports to expand the range of
source port numbers, allowing more concurrent server connections and
more NFS mount points. Servers must explicitly allow NFS connections
from unprivileged ports for this to work.
In the past, bumping the value of the sunrpc.max_resvport sysctl on
the client would permit the NFS client to use unprivileged ports.
Bumping this setting also changes the maximum port number used by
other in-kernel RPC services, some of which still required a port
number less than 1023.
This is exacerbated by the way source port numbers are chosen by the
Linux RPC client, which starts at the top of the range and works
downwards. It means that bumping the maximum means all RPC services
requesting a source port will likely get an unprivileged port instead
of a privileged one.
Changing this setting effects all NFS mount points on a client. A
sysadmin could not selectively choose which mount points would use
non-privileged ports and which could not.
Lastly, this mechanism of expanding the limit on the number of NFS
mount points was entirely undocumented.
To address the need for the NFS client to use a large range of source
ports without interfering with the activity of other in-kernel RPC
services, we introduce a new NFS mount option. This option explicitly
tells only the NFS client to use a non-privileged source port when
communicating with the NFS server for one specific mount point.
This new mount option is called "resvport," like the similar NFS mount
option on FreeBSD and Mac OS X. A sister patch for nfs-utils will be
submitted that documents this new option in nfs(5).
The default setting for this new mount option requires the NFS client
to use a privileged port, as before. Explicitly specifying the
"noresvport" mount option allows the NFS client to use an unprivileged
source port for this mount point when connecting to the NFS server
port.
This mount option is supported only for text-based NFS mounts.
[ Sidebar: it is widely known that security mechanisms based on the
use of privileged source ports are ineffective. However, the NFS
client can combine the use of unprivileged ports with the use of
secure authentication mechanisms, such as Kerberos. This allows a
large number of connections and mount points while ensuring a useful
level of security.
Eventually we may change the default setting for this option
depending on the security flavor used for the mount. For example,
if the mount is using only AUTH_SYS, then the default setting will
be "resvport;" if the mount is using a strong security flavor such
as krb5, the default setting will be "noresvport." ]

Somehow, this escaped the previous purge. There should be no need to keep
any extra locks in the XDR callbacks.
The NFS client XDR code only writes into private objects, whereas all reads
of shared objects are confined to fields that do not change, such as
filehandles...
Ditto for lockd, the NFSv2/v3 client mount code, and rpcbind.
The nfsd XDR code may require the BKL, but since it does a synchronous RPC
call from a thread that already holds the lock, that issue is moot.

This patch fixes an inconsistency in nfnetlink_conntrack.h that
I introduced myself. The problem is that CTA_NAT_SEQ_UNSPEC is
missing from enum ctattr_natseq. This inconsistency may lead to
problems in the message parsing in userspace (if the message
contains the CTA_NAT_SEQ_* attributes, of course).
This patch breaks backward compatibility, however, the only known
client of this code is libnetfilter_conntrack which indeed crashes
because it assumes the existence of CTA_NAT_SEQ_UNSPEC to do
the parsing.
The CTA_NAT_SEQ_* attributes were introduced in 2.6.25.

Miles Lane tailing /sys files hit a BUG which Pekka Enberg has tracked
to my 966c8c12dc9e77f931e2281ba25d2f0244b06949 sprint_symbol(): use
less stack exposing a bug in slub's list_locations() -
kallsyms_lookup() writes a 0 to namebuf[KSYM_NAME_LEN-1], but that was
beyond the end of page provided.
The 100 slop which list_locations() allows at end of page looks roughly
enough for all the other stuff it might print after the symbol before
it checks again: break out KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN earlier than before.
Latencytop and ftrace and are using KSYM_NAME_LEN buffers where they
need KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN buffers, and vmallocinfo a 2*KSYM_NAME_LEN buffer
where it wants a KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN buffer: fix those before anyone copies
them.

percpu counter: clean up percpu_counter_sum_and_set()
Before this patch we had the following:
percpu_counter_sum(): return the percpu_counter's value
percpu_counter_sum_and_set(): return the percpu_counter's value, copying
that value into the central value and zeroing the per-cpu counters before
returning.
After this patch, percpu_counter_sum_and_set() has gone, and
percpu_counter_sum() gets the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set()
functionality.
Problem is, as Eric points out, the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set()
functionality was racy and wrong. It zeroes out counters on "other" cpus,
without holding any locks which will prevent races agaist updates from
those other CPUS.
This patch reverts 1f7c14c62ce63805f9574664a6c6de3633d4a354. This means
that percpu_counter_sum_and_set() still has the race, but
percpu_counter_sum() does not.
Note that this is not a simple revert - ext4 has since started using
percpu_counter_sum() for its dirty_blocks counter as well.
Note that this revert patch changes percpu_counter_sum() semantics.
Before the patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will bring the counter's
central counter mostly up-to-date, so a following percpu_counter_read()
will return a close value.
After this patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will leave the counter's
central accumulator unaltered, so a subsequent call to
percpu_counter_read() can now return a significantly inaccurate result.
If there is any code in the tree which was introduced after
e8ced39d5e8911c662d4d69a342b9d053eaaac4e was merged, and which depends
upon the new percpu_counter_sum() semantics, that code will break.

A few months back a race was discused between the netpoll napi service
path, and the fast path through net_rx_action:
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-netdev/2007/10/16/345470
A patch was submitted for that bug, but I think we missed a case.
Consider the following scenario:
INITIAL STATE
CPU0 has one napi_struct A on its poll_list
CPU1 is calling netpoll_send_skb and needs to call poll_napi on the same
napi_struct A that CPU0 has on its list
CPU0 CPU1
net_rx_action poll_napi
!list_empty (returns true) locks poll_lock for A
poll_one_napi
napi->poll
netif_rx_complete
__napi_complete
(removes A from poll_list)
list_entry(list->next)
In the above scenario, net_rx_action assumes that the per-cpu poll_list is
exclusive to that cpu. netpoll of course violates that, and because the netpoll
path can dequeue from the poll list, its possible for CPU0 to detect a non-empty
list at the top of the while loop in net_rx_action, but have it become empty by
the time it calls list_entry. Since the poll_list isn't surrounded by any other
structure, the returned data from that list_entry call in this situation is
garbage, and any number of crashes can result based on what exactly that garbage
is.
Given that its not fasible for performance reasons to place exclusive locks
arround each cpus poll list to provide that mutal exclusion, I think the best
solution is modify the netpoll path in such a way that we continue to guarantee
that the poll_list for a cpu is in fact exclusive to that cpu. To do this I've
implemented the patch below. It adds an additional bit to the state field in
the napi_struct. When executing napi->poll from the netpoll_path, this bit will
be set. When a driver calls netif_rx_complete, if that bit is set, it will not
remove the napi_struct from the poll_list. That work will be saved for the next
iteration of net_rx_action.
I've tested this and it seems to work well. About the biggest drawback I can
see to it is the fact that it might result in an extra loop through
net_rx_action in the event that the device is actually contended for (i.e. the
netpoll path actually preforms all the needed work no the device, and the call
to net_rx_action winds up doing nothing, except removing the napi_struct from
the poll_list. However I think this is probably a small price to pay, given
that the alternative is a crash.

There's no point in having too short SG_IO timeouts, since if the
command does end up timing out, we'll end up through the reset sequence
that is several seconds long in order to abort the command that timed
out.
As a result, shorter timeouts than a few seconds simply do not make
sense, as the recovery would be longer than the timeout itself.
Add a BLK_MIN_SG_TIMEOUT to match the existign BLK_DEFAULT_SG_TIMEOUT.

Due to a wrong safety check in af_can.c it was not possible to filter
for SFF frames with a specific CAN identifier without getting the
same selected CAN identifier from a received EFF frame also.
This fix has a minimum (but user visible) impact on the CAN filter
API and therefore the CAN version is set to a new date.
Indeed the 'old' API is still working as-is. But when now setting
CAN_(EFF|RTR)_FLAG in can_filter.can_mask you might get less traffic
than before - but still the stuff that you expected to get for your

Fix setting of max_segment_size and seg_boundary mask for stacked md/dm
devices.
When stacking devices (LVM over MD over SCSI) some of the request queue
parameters are not set up correctly in some cases by default, namely
max_segment_size and and seg_boundary mask.
If you create MD device over SCSI, these attributes are zeroed.
Problem become when there is over this mapping next device-mapper mapping
- queue attributes are set in DM this way:
request_queue max_segment_size seg_boundary_mask
SCSI 65536 0xffffffff
MD RAID1 0 0
LVM 65536 -1 (64bit)
Unfortunately bio_add_page (resp. bio_phys_segments) calculates number of
physical segments according to these parameters.
During the generic_make_request() is segment cout recalculated and can
increase bio->bi_phys_segments count over the allowed limit. (After
bio_clone() in stack operation.)
Thi is specially problem in CCISS driver, where it produce OOPS here
BUG_ON(creq->nr_phys_segments > MAXSGENTRIES);
(MAXSEGENTRIES is 31 by default.)
Sometimes even this command is enough to cause oops:
dd iflag=direct if=/dev/<vg>/<lv> of=/dev/null bs=128000 count=10
This command generates bios with 250 sectors, allocated in 32 4k-pages
(last page uses only 1024 bytes).
For LVM layer, it allocates bio with 31 segments (still OK for CCISS),
unfortunatelly on lower layer it is recalculated to 32 segments and this
violates CCISS restriction and triggers BUG_ON().
The patch tries to fix it by:
* initializing attributes above in queue request constructor
blk_queue_make_request()
* make sure that blk_queue_stack_limits() inherits setting
(DM uses its own function to set the limits because it
blk_queue_stack_limits() was introduced later. It should probably switch
to use generic stack limit function too.)
* sets the default seg_boundary value in one place (blkdev.h)
* use this mask as default in DM (instead of -1, which differs in 64bit)

blkdev_dequeue_request() and elv_dequeue_request() are equivalent and
both start the timeout timer. Barrier code dequeues the original
barrier request but doesn't passes the request itself to lower level
driver, only broken down proxy requests; however, as the original
barrier code goes through the same dequeue path and timeout timer is
started on it. If barrier sequence takes long enough, this timer
expires but the low level driver has no idea about this request and
oops follows.
Timeout timer shouldn't have been started on the original barrier
request as it never goes through actual IO. This patch unexports
elv_dequeue_request(), which has no external user anyway, and makes it
operate on elevator proper w/o adding the timer and make
blkdev_dequeue_request() call elv_dequeue_request() and add timer.
Internal users which don't pass the request to driver - barrier code
and end_that_request_last() - are converted to use
elv_dequeue_request().

The previous patch from Alan Cox ("nfsd: fix vm overcommit crash",
commit 731572d39fcd3498702eda4600db4c43d51e0b26) fixed the problem where
knfsd crashes on exported shmemfs objects and strict overcommit is set.
But the patch forgot supporting the case when CONFIG_SECURITY is
disabled.
This patch copies a part of his fix which is mainly for detecting a bug
earlier.

It seems that on some nVidia controllers using AltStatus register
can be unreliable so default to Status register if the PCI device
is in Compatibility Mode. In order to achieve this:
* Add ide_pci_is_in_compatibility_mode() inline helper to <linux/ide.h>.
* Add IDE_HFLAG_BROKEN_ALTSTATUS host flag and set it in amd74xx host
driver for nVidia controllers in Compatibility Mode.
* Teach actual_try_to_identify() and drive_is_ready() about the new flag.
This fixes the regression caused by removal of CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ
config option in 2.6.25 and using AltStatus register unconditionally when
available (kernel.org bugs #11659 and #10216).
[ Moreover for CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ=y (which is what most people
and distributions use) it never worked correctly. ]
Thanks to Remy LABENE and Lars Winterfeld for help with debugging the problem.

2nd part of the fixes needed for
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11796.
When the idr tree is either grown or shrunk, then the update to the number
of layers and the top pointer were not atomic. This race caused crashes.
The attached patch fixes that by replicating the layers counter in each
layer, thus idr_find doesn't need idp->layers anymore.

It has been thought that the per-user file descriptors limit would also
limit the resources that a normal user can request via the epoll
interface. Vegard Nossum reported a very simple program (a modified
version attached) that can make a normal user to request a pretty large
amount of kernel memory, well within the its maximum number of fds. To
solve such problem, default limits are now imposed, and /proc based
configuration has been introduced. A new directory has been created,
named /proc/sys/fs/epoll/ and inside there, there are two configuration
points:
max_user_instances = Maximum number of devices - per user
max_user_watches = Maximum number of "watched" fds - per user
The current default for "max_user_watches" limits the memory used by epoll
to store "watches", to 1/32 of the amount of the low RAM. As example, a
256MB 32bit machine, will have "max_user_watches" set to roughly 90000.
That should be enough to not break existing heavy epoll users. The
default value for "max_user_instances" is set to 128, that should be
enough too.
This also changes the userspace, because a new error code can now come out
from EPOLL_CTL_ADD (-ENOSPC). The EMFILE from epoll_create() was already
listed, so that should be ok.

Some recent Seagate harddrives have firmware bug which causes FLUSH
CACHE to timeout under certain circumstances if NCQ is being used.
This can be worked around by disabling NCQ and fixed by updating the
firmware. Implement ATA_HORKAGE_FIRMWARE_UPDATE and blacklist these
devices.

All architectures now use the generic compat_sys_ptrace, as should every
new architecture that needs 32bit compat (if we'll ever get another).
Remove the now superflous __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PTRACE define, and also
kill a comment about __ARCH_SYS_PTRACE that was added after
__ARCH_SYS_PTRACE was already gone.
